TDS Tester is a small, handheld device used to measure the Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) in a liquid, usually water. TDS refers to the combined total of all the dissolved substances, including salts, minerals, and metals, that are found in water. TDS is typically measured in parts per million (ppm). These testers are often used in a variety of applications, including:
These testers are commonly used in various settings like homes, aquariums, swimming pools, laboratories, hydroponics, and industrial processes to assess the quality of water.
